NATURAL GAS AND LIQUIEFIED PRETROLEUM MODELS
Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to aid in the detecting a gas leak. Some
people may not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or
unfamiliar with the smell of LP or NG, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions such as"odorant
fade", which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide or camouflage a gas
leak.
Water heaters utilizing LP gas are different from natural gas models. A natural gas water
heater will not function safely on LP gas and vice versa
No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from NG to LP gas. To
avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury, or fire, do not connect the water
heater to a fuel type not in accordance with the data plate.
LP gas must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower
areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look and smell for gas leaks.
Use a soapy solution to check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a connection
indicates a leak that must be corrected. When smelling to detect a gas leak, be sure to
sniff near the floor also.
Gas detectors are recommended in LP and NG applications and their installation should
be in accordance with the detector manufacturer's recommendations and/or local laws,
rules, regulations or customs.
